 3. Create and run the following M-files, using the given linear equations at problem 1(a)
and 1(b). Compare the results and explain

The result was the same and the only difference is that unlike the original code
the value of Matrix A and B were already set upon the start of the code while in
this new code the users are ask in to type any values, they want for Matrix A and
B.

LU DECOMPOSITION

Create and run the following M-files, using the given linear equations at problem 2(a) and
2(b). Compare the results and explain
Create and run the following M-files, using the given linear equations at problem 2(a) and
2(b). Compare the results and explain

Upon running the M-files we could observe that both of the codes
produce the same output value. This new code is much easier to use since
the system just ask you the values that you need and it automatically solve
for the problem
 Interpretation

In the experiment entitled “Solving a System of Linear Equations” the software MATLAB

was used in order to solve and execute the given equation. This experiment aims to help the

students so that they may be able to (1) understand the matrix operation, (2) know how to solve

linear equations using the software MATLAB, (3) know how to apply the direct method in

evaluating linear equations and (4) understand the iterative method in solving linear equations

using MATLAB. This experiment is divided into three parts.

The students were asked to do the first and second part of the experiment which was

determining the variable unknown using LU decomposition. L U decomposition of a matrix is the

factorization of a given square matrix into two triangular matrices, one upper triangular matrix and

one lower triangular matrix, such that the product of these two matrices gives the original matrix.

In MATLAB, there are 2 ways in which you can solve this problem. First, using iterative methods

such as Gauss-Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel method. These two methods represent an alternative to

the process of elimination. The second way to solve linear equations is by direct procedure. The

approach is much simpler to do, as it explicitly addresses the unknown variable.

Finally, the students were asked to construct an M-file containing the code provided for LU

Decomposition, Gauss - Jacobi Method and Gauss - Seidel Method to compare it to the codes

and results of the previous parts. It was after running all the codes provided that concluded that

there much more commands you can use so you can easily solve the problem since if you use

the normal method like Gauss - Jacobi and Gauss - Seidel, a lot of your time can be wasted.
 Conclusion

After the experiment entitled “Solving a System of Linear Equations” the students were able

to create a code that was able to solve the given equation they were able to concluded that

MATLAB is a program that provides numerous tools that can enable students to get around

easily in solving for linear equations A system of linear equations is solved in several means.

You need to identify the various commands to use so you can quickly get the answer and in by

using the direct method to solve linear equations you can really get the answer much faster but

these methods can be slow to operate on large sparse matrices, on the other hand, using the

iterative method, you could get the approximate solution to the linear system after a finite number

of steps.
